  • the wide-width circumferential cord layer 14 a and the narrow-width circumferential cord layer 14 b are formed so that when W 1 denotes the width in the tire width direction (in the present embodiment, the width in the tire width direction of the wide-width circumferential cord layer 14 a ) of the entire circumferential cord layer 14 , W 2 denotes the width in the tire width direction (in the present embodiment, the width in the tire width direction of the narrow-width circumferential cord layer 14 b ) of the high-rigidity region (in the present embodiment, the region in which the wide-width circumferential cord layer 14 a overlaps with the narrow-width circumferential cord layer 14 b ), and D 1 and D 2 respectively denote the longer and the shorter among the distances in the tire width direction from each end in the tire width direction of the entire circumferential cord layer 14 to each end in the tire width direction of the high-rigidity region on a side close to each end in the tire width direction of the
  • the center region (in the present embodiment, the region in which the wide-width circumferential cord layer 14 a overlaps with the narrow-width circumferential cord layer 14 b ) of the circumferential cord layer 14 which is the high-rigidity region is extended over a range from 0.2 times to 0.7 times the maximum width W in the tire width direction of the circumferential cord layer 14 , and furthermore, comprises a structure in which the widths D 1 and D 2 in tire width direction of each shoulder region (in the present embodiment, the region of only the wide-width circumferential cord layer 14 a ) which is the low-rigidity region of the circumferential cord layer 14 are different where the ratio D 1 /D 2 is in a range from 2.0 to 8.0, that is, the circumferential cord layer 14 is arranged asymmetrically with respect to the tire equator CL as seen in the tire widthwise section (in the present embodiment, shifted rightward in the drawing (refer to FIG.
  • the noise emission generated from the tire can be reduced in the pneumatic tire 20 in which the peak level of sound is reduced by decreasing the amplitude of the vibration generated in the tire and separating the amplitude into different modes regardless of other tire configurations, for example, the size of the cord angle of the inclined belt layer.
  • a pneumatic tire 30 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure comprises, as illustrated in FIG. 3A , an inclined belt layer 31 including at least a wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a having a relatively wide width in the tire width direction and a narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b having a relatively narrow width in the tire width direction, both passing through the tire equator CL, and when the inclination angle with respect to the tire circumferential direction of the cord of the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a is ⁇ 1 , and the inclination angle with respect to the tire circumferential direction of the cord of the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b is ⁇ 2 , 30° ⁇ 1 ⁇ 85°, 10° ⁇ 2 ⁇ 30°, and, ⁇ 1 > ⁇ 2 are satisfied.
  • the other structures and operations are the same as the pneumatic tire 10 according to the aforementioned first embodiment.
  • the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b of the pneumatic tire 30 has a width in the tire width direction which is about 0.5 times the width in the tire width direction of the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a which is the tire width direction maximum width of the inclined belt layer 31 , and the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a and the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b both have their tire width direction centers arranged at the tire equator CL (refer to FIG. 3A ).
  • the inclined belt layer 31 has a center region which is the center portion of the width in the tire width direction which includes at least the tire equator CL as a two layer structure of the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a and the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b , and makes the rigidity in the tire circumferential direction of any portion of the center region higher than the rigidity in the tire circumferential direction of any portion of both shoulder regions adjacent to the center region.
  • the inclination angle ⁇ 1 with respect to the tire circumferential direction of the cord forming the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a is 30° or more, the circumferential elongation of rubber increases as the surface of the tread 15 deforms, thus, the ground contact length of the tire is sufficiently maintained. As a result, the cornering power can increase to achieve a high turning performance. Note that, if the inclination angle ⁇ 1 exceeds 85°, there is the risk that the circumferential bending rigidity may become excessively small, thus, the inclination angle ⁇ 1 is set to 85° or less.
  • the vibration mode of the tire changes, and accordingly, a noise emission is generated, and the noise performance tends to deteriorate.
  • the tread surface of many tires having the cord of the inclined belt layer inclined at about 30° to 85° with respect to the tire circumferential direction have a shape that largely vibrates uniformly in primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. vibration modes in a sectional direction, and thus, there is the fear that a large noise emission is generated.
  • the inclination angle ⁇ 2 of the cord of the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b relative to the tire circumferential direction is set to be smaller than the inclination angle ⁇ 1 of the cord of the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a , and is in the range of 10° to 30°, the out-of-plane bending stiffness in the tire circumferential direction is appropriately maintained in the vicinity of the tire equator CL, thus, the vibration of the tread surface can be suppressed in the aforementioned vibration modes. That is, the expansion of the tread 15 in the tire circumferential direction in the vicinity of the tire equator CL is suppressed, and as a result, such noise emission can be further decreased.
  • the inclination angle ⁇ 2 being set to 10° or more, the out-of-plane bending stiffness in the tire circumferential direction can be maintained in the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a without inhibiting the operation for maintaining the ground contact length, and by setting the inclination angle ⁇ 2 to 30° or less, the out-of-plane bending stiffness of the tire circumferential direction is appropriately maintained in the vicinity of the tire equator CL, thus, the generation of noise emission can be more reliably decreased.
  • the pneumatic tire 30 of the present embodiment is configured so that the high-rigidity region (in the present embodiment, the region in which the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a and the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b overlap with each other) of the inclined belt layer 31 has a lower negative ratio in the ground contact width of the tread 15 than the low-rigidity region (in the present embodiment, the region of only the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a ) of the inclined belt layer 31 . Therefore, the tread land portion rigidity can be balanced to improve uneven wear performance.
  • the inclined belt layer 31 may be arranged asymmetrically relative to the tire equator CL.
  • the pneumatic tire 40 other than the inclined belt layer 31 being arranged asymmetrically with respect to the tire equator CL, has the same structure and operation as the aforementioned pneumatic tire 30 .
  • the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a and the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b are formed so that when W 1 denotes the width in the tire width direction of a widest-width inclined belt layer having the widest width in the tire width direction in the inclined belt layer 31 (in the present embodiment, the width in the tire width direction of the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a ).
  • W 2 denotes the width in the tire width direction of a narrowest-width inclined belt layer having the narrowest width in the tire width direction in the inclined belt layer 31 (in the present embodiment, the width in the tire width direction of the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b ), and D 1 and D 2 respectively denote the longer and the shorter among the distances in the tire width direction from each end in the tire width direction of the widest-width inclined belt layer (in the present embodiment, the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a ) to each end in the tire width direction of the narrowest-width inclined belt layer (in the present embodiment, the narrow-width inclined belt layer 31 b ) on a side close to each end in the tire width direction of the widest-width inclined belt layer (in the present embodiment, the wide-width inclined belt layer 31 a ).
  • the noise emission generated from the tire can be reduced in the pneumatic tire 10 in which the peak level of sound is reduced by decreasing the amplitude of the vibration generated in the tire and separating the amplitude into different modes regardless of other tire configurations, for example, the size of the cord angle of the inclined belt layer.
  • the sectional width SW and the outer diameter OD of the tire preferably satisfy the relational expression: OD ⁇ 0.0187 ⁇ SW 2 +9.15 ⁇ SW ⁇ 380.
  • the reason is that the drag coefficient (Cd value) and the rolling resistance value (RR value) can be reduced to improve the fuel efficiency.
